Xhesika = Jessica??

[snoglobel.livejournal.com]

That kinda makes sense. To be honest, I had no idea how to pronounce it when I typed it in.

[vanish.livejournal.com]

It seems to be the case, though I did hear one person pronounce it like "Chess"-sica on YouTube. (I like to plug names in there if I don't know how to pronounce them. What'd I do before the internet?!)

[sparklymoon.livejournal.com]

There's a Russian singer/actress named Жанна and it's pronounced Jeanna in english. I guess it would be Jessica...

I think Shamcey is a horrible name.

[snoglobel.livejournal.com]

I agree with Shamcey, I keep wanting to read it as Smancy, as in "Fancy Smancy" the sarcastic saying.

I find it really funny that Bolivia's contestant is named Olivia. Olivia from Bolivia.

Sorry, it's late. :)
